Key result
Peripartum hysterectomy had an incidence of 0.14% of deliveries, with postpartum hemorrhage as the leading cause (45%) and a high maternal mortality rate of 27%.
Why the study?
Peripartum hysterectomy indicates significant morbidity and mortality, and its indications and epidemiology have changed over the years.
Observational (n=36)
No
Peripartum hysterectomy is a high-risk, life-saving procedure most commonly indicated for postpartum hemorrhage, but it carries significant maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality.
High mortality with peripartum hysterectomy for PPH warrants caution; observational data leave open optimal prevention strategies.
Background: Peripartum hysterectomy (surgical removal of uterus in obstetrical complications) is a major form of surgery, and is an indicator of significant morbidity and mortality.It has been in practice since long time, although the indications and epidemiology has changed over the years.Aim: To study the epidemiology and feto-maternal outcomes of patients undergoing peripartum hysterectomy in 2022 at Dr. Sampurnanand Medical College, Jodhpur.Methodology: It was a retrospective study conducted from medical records of all patients undergoing peripartum hysterectomy in 2022 at the mentioned tertiary care centre.Result: Conclusion: Clinical Significance: Peripartum hysterectomy is a high risk procedure which can be a life saving in a number of conditions like PPH, rupture uterus, accreta spectrum disorders.
